Never give flowers until AFTER yo uhave had sex.
Use them as a reward, not an incentive
that almost makes sense!!! lol Guys will do anything to get what they want the question is will they do anything once there is no incentive to gain something anymore.
OTB I bet it was not your intention but your line made a lot of sense. 
I say before AND after...but then again I LOOOVE flowers... ;-) | |

Never manipulate a woman into feeling pressured to giving it up. But REWARD HER when she does.
Good Girl | |

Posted: 9/24/2005 3:47:14 PM | | I LOVE flowers! Anytime, any color, any type, love, love, love 'em. I say keep it up, even if the first date doesn't go so well, or nothing comes out of even a few dates, it is still a very sweet gesture. P.S. "I'm sorry" flowers are 9 times out of 10 a load of crap and a feeble attempt. Don't do that. :) | |

After all, flowers die....but cellulite is forever.
I think sending flowers AFTER the first date is a nice gesture. But then, the most romantic gift I ever got was my Patriots jersey. So take that with a grain of salt, fellas.  | |

If you wanna buy a girl flowers – buy it, do what you feel.
One day, i met a nice girl in a shopping center, we started a small conversation, about nothing, and she told me that it was her BD. i asked her to wait for couple of minutes and bought her a small bouquet of simple flowers. she was surprised and happy, and i was happy too. Although, it wasn’t a date, and we never had a real date.
From my experience, i do better in personal relationship when i do what i feel, without thinking too much about possible outcomes…probably something wrong with my thinking, but anyways...;)))
So be yourself, and do what you feel to do or to say.
And good luck on your dates, with or without flowers! :))) | |

Usually, I would prefer to see flowers outside rather then inside. Even so, I have been known to send flowers at unexpected times.
For instance, a nurse I’ve known for like forever (and never really got along with) was very down and moody at work one day -- I was there waiting to go to lunch with her boss. I asked one of the younger gals what the nurse’s problem was this time and was told to “be nice” to her. Turns out this long-term single mom nurse had recently became an “empty nester” and her son joined the Army and was in Iraq. Also, her boyfriend had recently left her and moved up north. The next day was her birthday and she was feeling totally alone.
So, at lunch, I used my friend’s cell phone to call another of our friends who owns a flower shop and sent (anonymously) a very large arrangement of wildflowers (her favorite) to her home.
My friend then hit redial and had flowers sent to her at his clinic, too.
I’m told that he had a very happy head nurse the next day. LOL

Posted: 9/25/2005 1:45:36 PM | Everybody is talking about giving something to receive something. In my personal experience I feel better when I give little gifts..........for no reason other than "just because!"
I do agree that 1 simple flower means as much to a WOMAN AS AN ENTIRE BOUQUET!
It's cheaper too if you're frugal. | |

Posted: 9/25/2005 1:50:51 PM | I think flowers are always a great thing to present to someone who you are interested in. It's a classic sign of romance and chivalry that is a lost art. Some may think it cheesy and cliche, but I have yet to not get a smile and a blush from a date to whom I give flowers.
That said, I think that if I've spoken to the girl a good amount and have gotten to know her pretty well then I think flowers on the first date can be appropriate. However, assuming you met her online, and have just exchanged a few short emails and are just meeting up for drinks then flowers might be a little over the top or out of context for s causal meet-and-greet happy hour drink. It all depends on the feel of the date which only you can gauge.
Overall, flowers are a great idea. The question is whether to do it on the first date or not. If you make it to a second date then absolutely bring flowers. | |

Posted: 9/26/2005 2:48:26 AM | | hun why not bring flowers I also like them getting sent to my home/work. It's nice to know guys give little token gifts to a woman it makes a guy stand out nowdays as this is becoming a rare thing. Giving because u want to, not because u wish to gain something. Carry on the good work it doesn't matter when u give flowers try it different with diff dates :) | |

Posted: 9/26/2005 5:12:04 AM | I agree with SmoochieGal...SENDING them (to home or work) is really awesome...even more so than handing them to her on an actual date. :)
I had flowers delivered to my office on a bday and Valentines day...and once "just because" and these times really made my day and put an extra bounce in my walk! ;) | |

Posted: 9/26/2005 5:38:49 PM | It's seems pretty clear that all you ladies here are big fans of flowers. I don't know any girls who aren't (except for the ones with allergies). I guess the only thing I caution guys on is when to give them, meaning try to make sure they are in the right context. For instance, if the girl isn't that into you or if she downright hates you, flowers won't work. The girl needs to be at least into somewhat to get the right response otherwise it can be interpreted as a little strange/psycho.
Here's a real life story of where flowers didn't work adn this was a girl who kind of liked me. I started casually seeing a girl who I had met through a friend. We had been out on 2 or 3 dates and things were moving along normally. She mentioned over email that she was having a really bad day one day. So after work I bought her some of her favorite flowers and left them on her doorstep with a note that read, "Heard you had a bad day. Hope tomorrow is better." That's it.
For whatever reason, this seemed to set the relationship backwards until it just died. She might have had issues or maybe such a gesture just freaked her out, but the moral of the story is that you need to pick your moments with the flowers for them to be most effective.....and even if you do there' still no guarantee that they'll elicit a warm reaction. | |

Posted: 9/26/2005 9:32:44 PM | | I say listen to your heart. I know, I know, that is an extremely lovely phrase, but better in theory than in practice. Honestly, I wasn't aware that flowers ever crossed a guy's mind anymore. | |

Posted: 9/27/2005 10:32:02 AM | I'm glad to see a lot of women think a bunch of flowers on the first date is excessive. I think it's a good idea to wait until the second or third date for that kind of gift.....however...
I did bring a gift on a first date once. I brought home made caremel rolls.....and yes I made them myself. She said it was very thoughtful.
What do you ladies think of getting a gift like that on a date? | |

Posted: 1/15/2006 9:24:31 PM | Hi guy's.
OK. I am from Germany and living now here in Canada , Edmonton. ( By the way: Hello Canada  )
Hey. Bring the flowers by the first date. That's my way when i have a date. You see what the girls give you for answers. And if you look at the eyes in this moment. You will see some stars in her eyes. OK. OK - at the most times. If she have an - what you say - allergie? about flowers. Give the flowers to a other girl in the club or bar, coffee. And bring at the next date for this girl a other small present.
When you talk with some girls. They often missing this old style with flowers and little presents. And. If you have flowers by the first date. You will have a nice small - talk and evening. | |
